"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.

  - A flaw was found in the AFP backend in gvfs. When mounting a share, a malicious AFP server can cause the
    DSI read path to process a length that exceeds the size requested by the client. The function does not
    verify the server-provided length against the pre-sized reply buffer, causing the operation to access past
    the intended boundaries. This issue allows a malicious server to overflow a heap buffer and crash the
    gvfsd-afp process, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-84269)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
